Who does not like a great adventure? Whether it is taking a scenic drive to a place you have never been, exploring the ocean depths, or climbing a high mountain? You take up the journey because you know that what you discover might be breath-taking and be worth all the energy you have put into it.
Can you say the same thing about prayer? Do you see it as a great adventure for yourself?
If you don't, then I would have you examine your faith. Prayer becomes a great adventure because we cannot calculate what God can do; we cannot even predict what God can do! In fact, what God can do can be breath-taking in itself.
Let's say you are trying to find a new direction for your life - whether it is for a new line of work or for living in another city. You could try to read books and talk to as many people as possible. Or you could commit your concern to prayer. In so doing, you will never know what doors might open for you through divine intervention. This act of constantly praying is "research unlimited" for you. You are placing everything into God's hands.
I hope you won't miss the adventure. Don't settle for less - pray!
